The Washington County Oklahoma Home and Community Education organization returns to the fair with an assortment of home baked cookies, breads and candies in the bazaar located in the south room of the Washington County fairgrounds building.

The bazaar will be open the entire length of the fair from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sept. 5 and 6, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 7. New items this year are washable “recycled” feed sacks that have been made into fashionable tote bags. These feed sack totes feature pictures of animals — dogs, cats, horses, goats and more. OHCE members also have created colorful baby quilts, lap robes, original handmade jewelry and many more unusual gift items.

“There is sure to be something for everyone,” said OHCE County President Alice Stewart.

OHCE also will serve lunch and dinner in the north side of the fair building on Sept. 5, according to Stewart.

Homemade selections include turkey with dressing, meatloaf, ham and beans or chicken and noodles. Desserts and a drink are included for one price. Lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dinner will be served from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Proceeds will help the county and clubs provide scholarships and other charitable functions within the community.

The Oklahoma Home and Community Education members work together to build better communities through education, leadership and service and is a team of volunteers supportive of the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service in every county in Oklahoma. Interested individuals can visit and join one of the clubs in Washington County that meets monthly either during the day or at night.
